Whatever You Want

Chapter 7: Confusion

It's been a long few hours for the planet we like to call Earth. Everything has been in disarray, as it seems like luck doesn't even exist for our heroes. One bad thing after another just kept on happening, while tragedy and bloodshed was happening on every corner in the city of Musutafu. Young Izuku Midoriya was lucky enough to have friends that cared about him enough to stay by his side. However, by staying with him, will that affect them negatively in the long run?

Time will tell, but there's already a huge amount of red flags. This… army full of monsters, along with a dark figure that absolutely sent chills down Midoriya's spine, he told his friends to run, leave him for dead for their own safety. U.A. High students are a lot more stubborn than he expected, though, for better or worse. Everything happened so quickly. The darkness that surrounded Midoriya, now waking up to the situation at hand, somehow feels more powerful than he ever has before after the dark figure tried to infect him. Even his clothing has changed to a darker color instead of his usual green attire. Whatever happened to him is unclear, but one thing is for certain. After seeing Momo being covered in blood, he was now enraged, declaring that he'll make the dark figure that's crossed his path to rot for putting its hands on her. Don't ever mess with the people that he cares about.

He wouldn't waste anymore time, dashing at the dark figure, his eyes showing nothing but fire. When he sent a punch, the dark figure would block it with its arm, creating a shockwave from just one impact. However, the thing that Midoriya realized immediately was that after he sent such a powerful punch, he didn't feel any strain on his body. Usually, he would break almost every bone he had, only being able to be saved by Recovery Girl. His eyes lit up, not believing what was happening right now.

But man, he sure felt good.

Great, even.

Heck, the best he's ever felt.

Midoriya and the dark figure would ensue in a punching clash, matching blow for blow with each other, their yells being able to heard throughout the entire city. Electricity was surrounding Midoriya, smashing the ground beneath him to make the dark figure get off balance. Once step one was complete, he jumped high into the air, the highest he's ever jumped. He looked around while he was in the sky, still finding it hard to believe that he was fighting at the level he's currently at. Was this One For All at its full power? Is this what it felt like to be All Might in his prime?

Well, maybe it's not that extreme, but hey, he'll take this needed power boost. He started crashing to the ground, flipping in the air and wanted to axe kick the top of the dark figure's head. Still, if he thought it was going to be that easy, then he would be disappointed. Grabbing Midoriya's leg before his foot could kick its head, the dark figure was now repeatedly slamming the boy into the street over and over like a rag doll, eventually throwing him into a nearby building, causing it to collapse as it soon turned to rubble.

The dark figure just stood their casually, watching as the ruble seemingly crushed Midoriya. "You have power beyond your wildest dreams, but yet… you don't even know how to use it properly, even after you somehow avoided some of the infection which increased your strength ten fold."

Erupting from the rubble was a powerful, black and white electric aura, causing it to go all over the place. Who could be seen was Midoriya still standing there, blood leaking from his mouth, but was mostly okay. "I have no idea what you're talking about." he responded sinisterly, completely unlike his usual self. He would point to the dark figure, the serious look on his face showing that he wanted answers. "Tell me who you are! What's the reason for all of this carnage?!"

The dark figure laughed silently, enjoying Midoriya's determination. It offered some good entertainment. "Why would I want to spoil everything so soon? You need to find out those answers yourself. Right now, you're pretty much on level zero."

Midoriya scoffed at the comment, running into the street at high speeds. He would see a car that held no one in it, soon getting an idea. While running, he picked up the car with ease, throwing it at the dark figure and hitting his target completely. With the force of the car making the dark figure fly backwards, it would let out an explosive wave of energy that essentially pushed the car back towards Midoriya. Waiting for the right moment to strike, he took a deep breath and punched the car ferociously, completely destroying it.

Though, what he didn't expect was that after he destroyed the car, the dark figure was right in front of Midoriya, somehow getting so close to him in the matter of seconds. The dark figure would send a hard kick right into Midoriya's gut, making him cough up some blood as the impact itself sounded like it was bone shattering. Midoriya held his gut, gritting his teeth in pain, but he wouldn't have no time to rest since the dark figure would uppercut the boy into the air, sending him flying upwards. He would jump so high that he would be right next to Midoriya, this time going for his neck to strike next. Before that could happen, though, Midoriya eyes widened, screaming, "Oh, no you don't!" He would grab the dark figure's arm, spinning it in the air and threw him into the ground, causing a massive crater that even he wasn't expecting. Once Midoriya got back on the ground, he looked down at the crater to see where the dark figure was at. To his surprise, it wasn't there.

"What the…"

"You've taken your eye off the ball."

In mere moments, an inhuman, ridiculously sized beam would be fired at Midoriya by the dark figure. It was red and chaotic looking, as it looked like it could blast him into oblivion, something he can thoroughly do without. Realizing how little time he had, Midoriya declared, "I'll send it back!"

His hands would meet with the beam, stopping it in its tracks as he somehow had the strength to stand his ground. It wasn't like it was easy, though. He was struggling, and it became more apparent with each passing second. His yell would grow louder from the pain he was going through, his veins being able to be seen from his neck because this was testing every bone in the boy's body.

"Seems like you're learning somewhat. Still not on the level we want you to be, but you're getting there." The dark figure would snap its fingers, causing the beam it fired to explode immediately right in Midoriya's face, sending him skidding across the street, the smoke covering the entire area. When the smoke cleared, Midoriya slowly got up and looked around to see the if the dark figure was still here.

It wasn't.

He was breathing heavily, never going through a battle quite like that before. He wouldn't notice it, but his black attire would now change back to his usual green colors. With him surviving the intense fight, his eyes would widen, only having one person on his mind.

"MOMO!"

He would run back to where Momo was at, her condition not looking like it was the greatest right now. He knelt down next to her, holding her in his arms. "No, no, NO! Stay with me! I'm not losing you too! PLEASE! I refuse to lose you too!"

Whether his yelling worked or not, something would happen. Momo's eyes would flutter, regaining some type of vision and realized it was Midoriya who was caring for her. Her senses were barely there, making it clear that it was hard to be aware of anything.

"M-...Midoriya…?"

It was safe to say that Midoriya was overjoyed that Momo was still alive.

"Momo! I'm here, I'm here! Just stay with me, okay?! I'm going to get you some help!"

For Momo, it was hard to tell what Midoriya was exactly saying since she was still mostly out of it. She would fall unconscious again, as Midoriya would carry Momo in his arms, running as fast as he could to U.A. High to see an important person that's saved his behind on so many occasions. Hopefully, that person was still there, and not there by being dead.

Tsuyu, who looked to be in rather decent condition given what was going on right now, wasn't sure what happened to her. All she remembered was seeing Midoriya in the worst state he could have possibly been in, but now she was in another part of the city. How? Who the heck knows, but what she does know is that she's surrounded by a large army of creatures ready to infect or attack her. She would gulp, not knowing how she was going to make it through this.

Confusion was the word to describe everything that was going on right now.

"Ribbit… This is going to be tough."

She wouldn't back down, getting into her battle stance for quite possibly the last time.
